Charming porcelain pool bowl with cobalt blue decoration under a glaze.
This model is distinguished by a particularly atypical floral decoration in the chinoiserie style; close observation reveals a cryptic composition.
Zoomorphic element:
The chrysanthemum flowers are stylized to evoke the head of a rooster or hen (left side).
The top of the vase depicts a bird in flight.
The rock takes the form of a mouse or rat, creating a narrative scene.
Monogram on the glaze, which can be interpreted as RFR or FR, a specific order for the French market in the late 19th century.
Excellent condition, no cracks or chips.
Signs of age include firing pitting and irregularities at the base.
Beautiful glaze brilliance and deep blue.
Height 14 cm, diameter 8 cm, weight 190 g.
